DISPLAY-CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 9, 1907.

Application filed May 14,1906. 11 316,595.

To all who/1b it 'nm/y concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN T. BRENNAN, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at the city and district of i\Iontreal, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display-Cabinets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap pertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to display-cabinets.

The object of my invention is to provide a cabinet adapted particularly for displaying collars which is easily attached to a wall or stand and to provide means for attaching the same.

A more specific object is to provide a cabinet of the character described with a bracket adapted to hold a collar in the position which it occupies when in use by a wearer; and my invention consists of the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as herein illustrated, described, and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, I have illustrated one form of embodiment of my invention, in which drawings similar reference characters designate corresponding parts, and in whi 'h Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section, and Fig. 2 is a transverse horizontal section.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a transparent cylinder, preferably of glass, held between upper and lower casings 2, provided with reflectors 3. Suitable gaskets 4 are dis posed between the reflectors and the ends of the cylinder 1. The casings 2 are each provided with screw-threaded projections 5, and the projection on one of the casings 2, preferably the lower one, is provided with a screw-threaded recess 6, adapted to receive the screw-threaded end of a rod '7, which is disposed centrally and longitudinally of the cylinder 1 and has its opposite end disposed in the screw-threaded bore 8 of the opposite projection 5. In engagement with the rod 7 is an internally-screw-threaded headed nut 9, provided with external screw-threads 10, adapted to engage the screw-threads of the bore 8, by means of which nut the adjacent casing 2 is maintained on the cylinder 1.

Disposed on the projections 5 are screwthreaded caps 11. The cabinet formed as described may be suitably held by bracketarms 12, provided with collars 13, which fit over the projections 5 and which are held in position by means of the screw-threaded caps 11. The brackets 12 are provided with lugs 1 1, adapted to be inserted under brackets 15, which brackets may be secured to a wall or a casing.

Disposed on the rod 7 inside of the cylinder 1 is a collar 16, adjustably held in position by the set-screw 17 and provided with two radial arms 18, having at their extremities hooks 19. The collar is also provided with an integral arm 20, having a button 21, adapted to be inserted through the front buttonholes of a collar to hold the collar in the position which it occupies when in use, as clearly shown in the drawings.

By the construction described the cabinet is so supported that it may easily be removed from the wall, taken apart, and the collars displayed therein removed. The construction also provides for the display of collars in a cabinet which is air and water tight.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A display-cabinet comprising the combination of a glass cylinder, casings arranged at the top and bottom of the cylinder, a rod disposed through the casings, bracket-arms provided with collars adapted to engage the casings, screw-threaded caps adapted to lock the collars on the casings, brackets adapted to support the arms, and means for displaying collars on the rod in the cylinder.

2. A display-cabinet comprising the combination of a transparent cylinder, a lower casing having an interiorly and exteriorly screw-threaded projection, an upper casin having a projection with a screw-threader bore and having external screw threads, bracket-arms having collars disposed around the projections, screw-threaded caps on the projections adaptedtolock the collars against the casings a screw-threaded rod disposed with one end in the screw-threaded recess and the other end in the bore of the other casing, an interiorly and exteriorly screwthreaded nut on the rod and in engagement with the bore of the casing, reflectors in the casings, and display-racks on the rod.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.

MARTIN T. BRENNAN.
